Overview

Birmingham City Council wishes to procure specialist consultancy services to support the development of detailed operational plans for Birmingham's UEFA EURO 2028 Host City UEFA Festival.

The Council requires an experienced supplier to develop the existing Festival concept into detailed operational plans, covering the following key areas:

  • Fan Zones
  • Public Viewing Areas
  • Tournament Spectacular
  • Fan Meeting Points
  • Associated fan walking routes

The contract will involve providing specialist expertise in major-event festival planning, including festival production, CAD planning, stakeholder consultation and overall Host City concept integration.

The appointed supplier will be expected to work closely with the Council and relevant stakeholders to ensure that the proposed plans meet UEFA requirements and support the delivery of safe, inclusive, accessible and culturally relevant experiences for residents, visitors and fans.

The contract is expected to commence on January 2027 and run until July 2028. The scope covers Festival development and operational planning and excludes tournament-time delivery.

The Council will undertake an Open Tender process in accordance with its procurement procedures and the Procurement Act 2023.
